Why Plant Sunshine Ligustrum?
A plant that brings light into allergy sufferers' lives - Sunshine Ligustrum. This bright green shrub is a sterile plant that will not produce any blooms, making this a plant that even the most allergy-sensitive person can enjoy. Plant a bunch of Sunshines together and watch as they brighten up even the darkest of corners in the landscape, you'll need sunglasses!
Traditional Asian Privets are very invasive and have been introducing themselves into the native forests and spaces of North America becoming a very invasive species. Sunshine was selected as a choice privet due to the sterility and lack of spread this plant experiences. A great plant that will be long-living and not spreading into the natural landscape to become invasive.
How to use Sunshine Ligustrum in the landscape?
Sunshine will be lighting up your entire garden with the bright yellow-green foliage that is evergreen - more sunshine year round! Since this is a non-blooming plant, you will not have to worry about any unwanted spreading in your landscape. A fast growing and long living shrub, you'll be enjoying the bright color for many years to come. Although there is not much for fall color, the leaves do turn a slight orange tone to additional color to the bright yellow in the wintertime. A great plant to use to compliment other plants in the landscape, nothing looks bad with Sunshine by it's side!

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
